When Wang Zheng returned to school in a daze, it was already dark.
He secretly resolved that he would never go to the military region unless necessary. Old Man Gu was too long-winded. After he visited Old Lady Qian, the experiment there had already entered the next stage.
As he was leaving, he ran into Gu Min again. Gu Min pulled Wang Zheng aside and chatted for a long time, mostly about specific issues related to the Heavenly Demon.
It's said that Heavenly Demons are fiercely independent and will commit suicide if they know there's no hope of escaping. They even have a self-destruction technique. It's also mentioned that all Heavenly Demons leave behind Heavenly Demon Crystals after they die, and the only exception is when they self-destruct.
Although Wang Zheng was very interested, there was no new information after a while, and the rest were all Professor Gu's speculations.
Seeing that Wang Zheng really didn't seem to be under any psychological pressure, Gu Min talked to him for several hours, and even asked him questions and discussed things with him.
The difficulties in research and experimentation are derived from various kinds of knowledge.
Wang Zheng was completely baffled; he genuinely couldn't understand a word they were saying.
He could only nod and agree, unable to utter a single fart for ages.
However, Gu Min didn't seem to care much about this and kept chatting until it was completely dark before letting him go.
Wang Zheng finally felt relieved after nodding until his neck ached.
'I should have pretended to feel extremely guilty about Ji Shibing's death, and then just run away.'
When Wang Zheng finally got back to his dorm, his mind was buzzing. He casually threw the bag he was carrying on the ground and buried himself in the sofa.
He felt that today's trip was more tiring than a whole day of practicing the horizontal training method.
Wang Zheng, who had just lain down, suddenly saw a dark green corner peeking out of the bag and instantly perked up. He scrambled up from the sofa and quickly stripped naked from his casual clothes.
After quickly changing into the officer's uniform he had brought back, Wang Zheng looked at himself in the mirror with great pride.
Beneath the crisp military uniform was a handsome face. Wang Zheng nodded in satisfaction, patted his shoulder, and couldn't help but exclaim, "That's me for you!"
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Chu Xiaoman's voice.
"Wang Zheng, are you back? Open the door quickly."
Wang Zheng had no idea why Chu Xiaoman had come to see him. When he opened the door, he found Chu Xiaoman and Bai Meixi both there.
The latter was also holding his own custom-made seat cushion and game controller.
Wang Zheng slapped his forehead; he had forgotten it was the weekend and he still had to play games with Xiaobai.
Of course, Chu Xiaoman was just being lazy and didn't want to train, euphemistically calling it "a balance between work and rest."
After playing together a few times before, they have become familiar with each other and their relationship has improved.
As soon as the door opened, Chu Xiaoman darted in, then tugged at Wang Zheng's clothes while making strange "tsk tsk tsk" sounds.
Bai Meixi looked at Wang Zheng's outfit with a strange expression, as if she didn't like it very much, and shrank back uncomfortably.
Wang Zheng slapped Chu Xiaoman's hand away and pushed her head with one hand, trying to shove her out the door.
"What are you doing here? You're eliminated in the first round and you still have the nerve to play games? Go train now."
Chu Xiaoman naturally objected, her face contorted from Wang Zheng's push, and she shouted, "Wang Zheng, where did this uniform come from? It fits you quite well! Do you know that counterfeiting military uniforms is illegal?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows, pulled out his military officer's ID card, and slapped it across Chu Xiaoman's face.
"How dare you! Call me Lieutenant Wang Zheng!"
Chu Xiaoman stared blankly at the military officer's ID in front of her, pointed at Wang Zheng with one finger and stammered, "You're too bold. What are you trying to do? This will land you in jail."
Wang Zheng rolled his eyes in annoyance, snatched back his military officer's ID, ignored the idiot, and went straight back to his room to change.
When he came out after changing his clothes, Chu and Bai had already installed the game and were waiting for Wang Zheng to come and play.
As soon as Wang Zheng sat down, Chu Xiaoman came over and shoved the controller into his hand.
"What's going on with you? Why did you suddenly go to the military region to join the army? Can you still attend school while in the army? Are you going to drop out of school?"
Wang Zheng thought about what Dang Liantao had said, and that he wouldn't have to go to the military region for duty. Although he wasn't that resistant, he still felt somewhat uneasy.
Upon seeing Chu Xiaoman and remembering Chu Tianxing who had sold her out, she gritted her teeth and said, "This is all your grandfather's doing. When he comes back, I'll settle the score with him."
Chu Xiaoman consciously moved back a little: "This has nothing to do with me, so you can't take it out on me."
Before Wang Zheng could reply, Bai Meixi came over with a pen and was about to smear it on Wang Zheng's face.
Wang Zheng naturally refused to give in, blocking the way while shouting, "I haven't even played yet, why should I be punished?"
Bai Mei blinked her big eyes and stared at Wang Zheng, pointing to the controller in Wang Zheng's hand and then to the character on the TV who had already died.
'You little rascal, Chu Xiaoman, you've learned to use your brain after just a few days!'
Wang Zheng grabbed Chu Xiaoman, who was secretly laughing, and held her tightly.
"She lost, quickly draw her!"
...
After finally managing to get rid of the two, Wang Zheng slumped onto the sofa, reminiscing about the Heavenly Demon.
Just then, his phone rang. Wang Zheng picked it up and was overjoyed. He quickly sat up.
"Mom, why are you calling so late? Is there any news?"
Then, Li Liang's slightly tired voice came through the phone.
“We’re already at the airport now, and we should arrive around midnight. Let me tell you, the country is making a big move this time. Your previous guesses weren’t unfounded. I’ll explain the details when I get back. It’s the weekend today, so if you’re in a hurry, go home and wait for us.”
...
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zheng felt a little excited. Judging from his mother's tone, there seemed to be quite a lot of good news.
Looking out at the pitch-black night, he immediately made a decision.
The school must be closed by now, looks like I'll have to climb over the wall again.
However, Wang Zheng suddenly remembered that Chu Xiaoman seemed to have mentioned that he had caused someone else to be checked in after he climbed over the wall last time.
Forget it, what does it have to do with me? Anyway, it's Chengpu District and they don't check rooms.
